100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 412 Reality Struck Her

Day Forty-Seven...

~~*****~~

Abigail was in a grumpy mood today. She felt the need to release her anger, otherwise, she would explode. After talking to the Pharmaceutical Scientist, Abigail left the laboratory to face Veronica.

She was the first person she would like to deal with. And tonight, she would confront Madam Lu and reveal her evil doings in front of the Yan Family. Whatever decision she would make, Nathan would always support her.

Veronica was still in her office when Abigail barged in. She was greeted by Veronica's cold sharp glare.

"What the hell are you doing here, B*tch?!" Veronica hated Abigail for ruining her plan. A while ago, she thought Nathan was already wavering and was about to give in, if not for Abigail's interference.

"I'm just here to give you some pieces of advice..." Abigail's lips curled up into a mocking smile.

"Just Scram! I don't need your advice!" Veronica spat back at her. She grabbed her mug and threw it at Abigail. But Abigail reacted quickly, catching the flying mug using her right hand.

"I know your secrets... Veronica. You were the one who hired someone to scare me and stab me in Country F. You also tried to harm your own sister because of your greediness and jealousy. If you don't want me to reveal this to Nathan, then just behave and don't annoy me. I chose to ignore you because I have a much more important thing to do. But don't test my patience, Veronica." Abigail was surrounded by a chilly aura. She was frightening.

Veronica lost the ability to speak. She had never expected that a mere actress could gather such vital information about her. Even Nathan was not aware of the thing she did. She indeed hired someone to harm Monica.

"Phantomflake killed my sister! I have nothing to do with it!" Veronica denied Abigail's accusation as she masked her fear. She could already imagine what Nathan would do to her once he found out the truth.

"Hmm. If Phantomflake didn't succeed... your man would have finished the task for you," Abigail said meaningfully, making Veronica speechless.

"One more thing... you were not the only one who had so many secrets. Your sister Monica was good at hiding the truth. She was manipulative. And she was wiser than you." Abigail provoked Veronica.

"But I will uncover the truth. Nathan will be free from this agony and Monica's shadow. So if you don't want to face Nathan's wrath, it's best for you to stay away from him."

Veronica was not a fool who would just listen to her. She would never give up Nathan.

"You are making me laugh, Abigail. What do you know about my sister? Are you trying to ruin the image of my late sister? I don't expect you to stoop so low just to get Nathan's attention. Do you really think you can replace Monica in his heart?" Veronica was confident that Nathan still had feelings for Monica.

"Just know your place, Veronica. I already warned you. Don't regret it in the end."

"Your sister deceived Nathan." She added.

Veronica frowned when she heard that. "You are making up a story. Deceive him? About what?"

Abigail focused her attention on Veronica. She assessed her facial expression. She could tell that Veronica was clueless about Monica's secret.

"Why don't you try to investigate it? Who knows Nathan will see you in a different light once you unfold your sister's secret to Nathan." Abigail was taunting her.

"That's a lie!" Veronica stubbornly said.

Abigail just shrugged her shoulders and turned around to leave. She would continue monitoring Veronica's movement. Who knows this woman might be of help in unfolding the truth about Monica's secret.

'I will use Veronica to my advantage. I'm holding her by her neck.' Abigail knew how to play mind games with her enemies. She started with Veronica. This was not yet the time to destroy Veronica.

'Now, let me fix the Yan Family first and remove the traitor. That's my priority.' Abigail thought to herself when she closed the door behind her. She even heard the crashing sound as Veronica threw her things from her table.

Abigail headed to the parking lot. Nathan was already there, waiting for her. He would bring her to lunch first before sending her off to the meeting venue of the project team.

Upon entering the car, Abigail dialed Madam Priyanshi's number. The phone rang twice before it was answered by her.

"Hello, Abi?" Madam Priyanshi's voice was heard from the other line.

"Aunt... can we have another family gathering tonight? There is something I have to tell everyone." Abigail requested her.

"Sure. Don't worry, Abi. I will invite everyone. Furthermore, the result of the DNA test will be delivered by our family doctor tonight. It's best for everyone to be present there so that they will no longer question your identity." Madam Priyanshi was very supportive of Abigail. She didn't doubt her identity at all.

"Thanks, Auntie. By the way, how's Nadia?" Abigail thought of her cousin because she was going to meet Richard today.

"Sigh. She is still trying to cope with that break-up. I don't know what to do anymore." Madam Priyanshi sounded stressed and troubled.

"Don't worry, Auntie. Everything is just a misunderstanding. I will try to talk to Richard. For now, let's give them time and space to realize what they are missing."

"Thank you, Abi. I truly appreciate this." Madam Priyanshi said goodbye to Abigail.

When Abigail was done talking with her Aunt, Nathan spoke up. "Where do you want to eat some lunch?"

"Hmm, anywhere. But, I want to eat lunch together with you and Ethan..." Abigail put on a pleading look in her eyes.

"Got it. Let's go back to the mansion. This way we can also spend time with your grandpa." A faint smile curved into the corners of Nathan's lips.

Abigail was taken aback for a moment, her eyes fixated on him.  'Damn! Nathan is so thoughtful! I like this side of him.'

"Thanks, Nate. I just wish you are always like this... when treating me..." Abigail blurted out, her eyes filled with different emotions. She was worried that everything between Nathan and her would go back to zero once she became Phantomflake again.

"I'll never change but in three conditions... First, stay away from guys... second, just be honest with me, no lies... I want your loyalty..."

"and third..." Nathan paused for a moment, shifting his gaze from the road to Abigail's face. "Be a good mother to my son, Ethan."

Abigail swooned at his last remarks. Her heart even jumped with joy. 'Does it mean... he is already accepting me as Ethan's second mother?'

"Nate... are you..." Abigail couldn't finish her words. She realized that she was Abigail in front of Nathan, not Phantomflake.

Her hope collapsed instantly when reality struck her. Even if Nathan wanted her to become Ethan's mother... she still had to go back to her real self. She was only borrowing Abigail's body. All of this was just temporary.

"What? Continue your question." Nathan urged her.

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just hungry. And I can't wait to see Ethan."

Nathan glanced at her and saw the changes in her expression. She became sullen and there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

'Did I say something wrong to ruin her mood?'
